The Stables at Thread

Located 5 miles north of Providence, the historic Conant, Coates & Clark Mill was launched in 1825 as a manufacturer of thread and at one time was the largest of its kind in the world. Adjacent to the mill building, “The Stables”, originally served as a working stable for the complex.

Urban Smart Growth (USG) plans to develop the property to create 26 live/work artist and/or light industrial loft rental units. The existing building will be retained and renovated to offer a townhouse layout with the main level of each unit designed as potential workspace for the resident and the second level as tenant living space. An interior staircase will connect the main level to the second level of each unit. Natural light and copious ventilation will be provided by large skylights and windows.
